5 knob config, Volume - Dingwall Switch - Bass - Lo Mid - Hi Mid
I also had series/parallel switches for each pickup installed at the same time, huge expansion of the original passive sound.

Looks sweet - who fitted it for you Kev ?

I have just sold the bass in question but i recently had a Darkglass Tone Capsule installed in an ABZ, sounded mega in that bass but quite coloured which is fine if that's what you're after.

I''m familiar with the u-retro and have it in my Shuker jazz. But the Darkglass sounds interesting, how have you guys wired it ?
Assuming music is your hobby, if you enjoy what you play, where you play and who you play with then really, what's more to be had.
And when someone comments that the band were good, remember that includes you
Thanks Joe - much appreciated. I figure we'll walk back to Northern Quarter for a beer or 3
Not fussed about seeing Public Enemy but would like to see Paul Heaton
If anyone is going to the Wednesday, Thursday or Friday gigs would you mind letting me know the various stage start times
Am gong on Saturday so the info would help me plan my day !
Thanks in advance

We have had very good results using Facebook. After identifying venues we have approached them via our Facebook profile to theirs, and we have picked up a lot of work now that way. Our page has photos, Soundcloud links (forget CDs...), set list etc.
We still get gigs through more traditional methods but we're finding that social media really works for us.

+1 to this method. I 'messenger' the venue and then write a post on their page to tell them I've messaged about gig opportunities. I've a template for the first message and the subsequent ones. You can normally obtain a response eventually even if it's a thanks but no thanks response. It's a numbers game so target as many as you can and keep a list/database/spreadsheet of all your comms
Of course the key to all this is building long term relationships with venues and getting regular bookings.
And always try to get the rebook date on the night
Our singer has lost her voice overnight and we're having to pull out of a gig tonight at The Drysalters near Elland Road
If anyone can fill the slot then give the guy a call on 07496 362267
We're a rock/pop/indie covers band so something similar would be welcomed. We'd agreed a normal pub rate

Where are you?
Edited and found you. I'd be happy to collect it.
I'm heading up to manchester in the next week if you want to pick it up from me.
I have feedback here too so I'm not a shifty character! Well not that shifty.

Thanks guys, for some reason I couldn't find this post and didn't pick up these responses. The auction ended with no bids and the bass is up again with and end date of next Friday 19th
So if you're still in the position and happy to help, let me know :-)

I may be passing PT later this week. Could do a detour.

I'm looking at a pj bass on fleabay but it's a collection only option
Just wondered if any kind hearted soul who would consider helping me out if I win it and be able to pick it up, package up and send to me ?
It's coming with a gig bag rather than a case
Obviously I'd pay for all the costs etc 😄
